Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the commissioner for appearing before us today.
I will be focusing more on lobbying. I will not be touching on the matters dealing with Elections Canada.
As my colleague mentioned earlier, some lobbyists hold fundraisers for ministers in the hope of—at least we assume—obtaining favours in return.
You said that the investigation in such cases was referred to Parliament. I was wondering if it would be more appropriate for you to handle the investigation. I don't think Parliament is independent enough. Certain political parties are biased.
What are your thoughts on that?
